Motorcycle owners - What bike do you have, what do you carry and how do you carry?

Sort of a motor bike LOL.

I don't have a street bike yet but I will some day :D

97' Honda CR250R



ESEE Izula on my belt



:cool::thumbup:
 
A 1986 Kawasaki KLR 600. Ill have it back Friday or Saturday. Had to do a top-end rebuild, and bored it 40 over.
I have dumped alot more money into it than it is worth, but it will be worth it in the end.
I didnt ride it a whole lot when it was working, but I have already figured out how I'll carry. I'll tie a lanyard through the hole and tie it to my belt-loop when its clipped to my pocket. Just in case.

1998 Customized Road King Classic. I carry both fixed blades, and folders. Sometimes I carry both. The only time I don't carry is when I plan on stopping at a bar of course.
 
I sold my last bike about 3-4 years ago. I got it for cheap and did a TON of work on it, wheel bearings, pulled the motor and reshimed the valves, put in new cam chain, totaly rebuilt all four carbs, you name it. It screamed like a cat with the MAC 4 into 1 header, Dyna electronics etc.

As for my current folder carry........ a small twin bladed Victorinox Officer SAK finds its way into my pocket a lot these days.
 
A few pics of my ride... 2011 Harley Road Glide, Sedona Orange, 103, ABS, 4- 6.5" Hawg wired speakers, 2 5x7 speakers in the lids. 2 x 400 watt amps in the fairing.. plus a few more goodies.. Knives are cheap compared to this hobby:)








I carry one of these.. Last year the CQC 15 rode with me to Sturgis..
 
1999 Softail Custom - Emerson Combat Karambit and a S&W Airweight in a left hand IWB holster. The wheel gun for reliability in an awkward shooting platform.....
 
2011 Yamaha Raider Cold steel Voyager x2 clipped R/front pocket Cold steel Kudu L/ front for general cutting chores . Ket Tec 380 IWB and Astra Cub 25 auto In L/ vest pocket . . The Astra and Vest is only difference from my every day carry .
 
This was my latest.
I had a SOG Jungle Primitive strapped on the rack. Just utilitarian. I didn't want anything too expensive for the light fingered folks out there.
I sold this one recently though. It was a bit too heavy for the technical trails I want to ride so I'm in the market for a 500EXC or similar. That one will have my BK9 strapped on somewhere.

I've been riding, (right now I'm still waiting to heal from shoulder surgery) a vintage/old '85 Yamaha Venture, I call it my Road Sofa, with all the amenities of home if I want them and because of it's high center of gravity, for a touring bike it's still pretty agile and more than capable of the mountain roads or the straight aways for long periods of time.

Being it has two nice size saddle bags, a trunk and lots of leather pouches, I usually carry a Swamp Rat Howlin' Rat in the trunk, an SAK, Mini Champ on the key ring, a Leatherman Super Tool and a Cold Steel Large Twist Master in the front fairing bag.

A Taurus PT111 Millennium in a Kydex IWB holster. Finally in pocket is usually the small Sebenza 21 and what ever traditional pattern happens to have my fancy that day.

Here's pic of my bike from a few years ago, that's my daughter and her bf not me, I need a new pic. ;)

Some of the most fun I've ever had on a bike was on an old 70s XL 350, that bike went anywhere, kick start always fired on the second kick, just plain fun and dependable, wish I never traded it. :(
 
2001 HD Superglide. I carry no different riding than I do walking, but mostly agree with the whole "don't want it in my pocket" mentality. Jacket pocket, maybe. More likely they're in the bag or on the belt.

Awesome bike and set of blades. I need to add some Benchmades to my collection!
 
2003 Buell XB9S

2009 Buell 1125CR

I also have a 1996 Buell S2T but it's waiting on a frame-off build if I ever get the time, money, and space to do it.
I have an array of pocket knives that I alternate for EDC. My favorite knife for a bike ride would probably be my BM Presidio Auto
